I don't think you can go lower without fouling the plastics.
I think you may also find that the 1000r forks are 43mm whereas the 1000f forks are 41mm.

instead of going down in the front, can you go up at the back

They`re actually bigger than that at the yokes as they`re 43mm at the stanchions,you can raise the rear by having the linkeage modified into an eccentric adjuster,mines been raised by 40mm and it makes one hell of a difference with no loss of stability at high speeds,I`d strongly reccomend uprating the forks and/or changing the fork oil to a heavier weight...I`ll try to get some pictures on later....It`s real easy too!!

OK, here is the deal... My 1000f was wrecked in front plastics, i change them for a cbr rr 04, and they came out good,i already change the back end to a cbr rr clone, so my only thing to acomplish is lower the handle bars depper than the gas tank level so this way i could stir with out hiting the plastic fairing.thanks for reply everybody!!![sm=shades.gif][sm=hiya.gif]

Can I get pics? My plastics are pretty much fubar and I don't like the idea of spending 1700$ at the stealership for new ones.

Any clip ons from a bike with right way up 41mm forks should do it then

Are you sure? Mine are 41mm on my 89 F-K. Are yours 43mm? If so, then i'm presuming that from the linked brake model onwards they used 43mm.

Sorry!

I wasn`t very clear was I[&:]...I meant the 1000rr forks are bigger than 43mm at the yolks as they`re upside down forksMines a 1990 F-L and they`re definitely 41mm...sorry for any confusion!!
